Updated: Turn Your Crank To Frank

Frank will be was a guest on WFMU-FM’s “Night People” radio program last Wednesday night at 2:30 AM Eastern/11:30 PM Pacific. But if you’re like me, not even an appearance by Frank is enough to keep you up past your bedtime. Luckily, WFMU has archived the show for our delayed listening pleasure. The show should also be available on iTunes shortly, but as of this writing it hadn’t yet been posted.

Weekend Discussion Thread: Action Figures

Alert reader Matthew writes:

Now that Crow and Tom Servo figures have been created, what action figures from the MSTed movies would you like to have or create? I’m talking primarily about characters from the movies themselves (i.e. Trumpy, Mr. B, Zap Rowsdower), and maybe for a separate list characters BBI came up with themselves (Auntie McFrank, Timmy, Toaster Pastry Servo).

I myself would probably start with the “Lame Action-Heroes 3-pack”, Puma Man, Zap Rowsdower, and The Paper Chase Guy.

I think this maybe the only ACTUAL action figure from a MSTed movie…

How about Dave “Big McHugelarge” Ryder from “Space Mutiny?”

What figures would YOU like to see?
